Kindness Starts With Us

Kindness starts with us, 
it's constantly taught by loving parents
who pass it down to another generation;
and we, in return,
must pass it on to others...
so that it never dies. 
 

Kindness is found in gestures, embraces,
words and looks; take in consideration the saints
who gave their soul to God and love to all...
we can follow their example, feel happy and walk tall.
Kindness is not righteousness,
but it should be given to anyone we come across. 


Kindness starts with us,
let's give it with these human hearts that once became stones,
making us lose much joy, giving us dull days with aching bones;
let's transform ourselves by accepting grace
and feel the happiness that lives
in the hearts of believers....

     
P.S. I am leaving some copies on a church steps

For those who've experienced kindness, we know it can feel good. Can't always tell if it's genuine but a starts a start <3
